reminder that the B2s are easier to sink than the F35s which Iran has already sunk a few

bump

>>508221629 (OP)
also cross section is measured head-on, it's much larger at other angle

>>508221629 (OP)
Their anti-air defenses are all destroyed and Israeli's jet own the skies over Iran.

>>508221820
may we see them?

>sink

?

piss easy lads

>>508221629 (OP)
F-117 still king. Is that the real reason they reactivated them?

>The U.S. Air Force has now confirmed that it currently plans to continue flying operations with at least a portion of the F-117A fleet through 2034.

>>508222190
notice in OP how that plane the serbians destroyed was harder to sink than the B2

>>508222091
sink from the sky to the ground

>can see it with the naked eye
>"it's stealth!!!"
LOL

Brainlets itt
radar cross section is measured at ((a certain frequency))
outside of it or in exotic bands (like low THz) it glows brighter than memeflags on pol

>>508222353
Didn't the serbs basically down one of them with a simple javelin?

>>508221629 (OP)
Then why doesn't USA just train insects to carry the bunker busters ?

>>508222679
zoomers who have brainrot from minecraft can't target this cause they think it's a whole in the sky, stealth achieved

>>508222679
"Stealth" comes from their ability to scramble radar bounces off their hulls and hide their jet streams so heat seeking missiles can't home in on them.

>>508222486
We damaged on b2 but they roached out on it sinc it landed in bosnia but needed repairs.
The only reason we didnt get one downed is because of altitude it flies, we didnt have shit to reach at after that

>>508221629 (OP)
3 is three times bigger than 1. Dot is not 3x. Fake and ga.

>>508222807
Good look targeting anything using LF radar. That’s kinda the point of stealth. It makes targeting hard. Spotting it is a lot easier.
Plus they aren’t retarded, they also worked hard to lower thermal signature.

>>508222843
because if you can train insects you don't need the bunker busters. Just have the insects fly into the ventilation shafts and sting all the scientists to death.

>>508223019
Sure they did, buddy, sure.

>>508223019
>The only reason we didnt get one downed is because of altitude it flies
i thought it flew low tracking the terrain, but looks like it can fly at 50,000 feet (15,240 meters) when it wants

Last time I checked, 0.005 is smaller than 0.01

>>508223281
>i thought it flew low tracking the terrain
It does.

>>508222824
Stealth isn’t magic. Anyone who ever played Microprose’s F-19/117 flight sim knows that. Used properly it gives you an edge. And in combat you want every possible edge you can get.

>>508221629 (OP)

no they haven't lol

Anon?

>>508223134
you can't lower for all the spectrum, it's physically impossible. think of a chebychev filter, you can get an equal ripple but only in a designated band, and if you widen the band - you worsen the ripple. There's usually a tradeoff but it's optimised for the most common enemy radar, the question is, was it optimised for whatever the iranians use? we'll see

>>508223281
And after bosnia incident they really fucking wanted to go to space

>>508223440
Or its another pop infograph with little to no information value.

>F35s which Iran has already sunk a few
may we see them?

May we see the f35s?

>>508222190
That happened because they got lazy and flew the same route over and over. Any technological advantage is nullified by stupidity.

>>508223019
holy fucking cope. it's not enough to have shot down an f117, now you need to also make shit up too. thirdies just have no shame.

>>508221629 (OP)
Lol. That's wrong. The B2 has an FRCS of .0001m2. Retards man.

>>508221629 (OP)

Post some source after you get done watching niggers rape your poor ass country.

>>508223515
No, I’m agreeing with you, you CAN detect it, though not at usual ranges, but you can’t guide your missiles using such frequencies.

>>508221629 (OP)
I hope in one of these ghost flights from China the Chinese shipped some SAM designed to shoot these down. It'd be glorious.

>>508221629 (OP)
>F-117
can't see it on radar, can't fly it in a straight line.

>>508221820
This was refuted, Israel is relying on drones and standoff strikes.

>>508223747
You you say same shit about downing of f117 mutt if we didnt have photos of dancing babushaks on it because it droped in our borders unlike b2 that managed to land beyond them

>>508224045
and car bombs, they are on their laat leg

It feels like theres a lot of ass-hurt ITT coming from non-stealth plane havers.

>>508224045

This type of butt-pain is unwarranted. I am sure that your skin is brown.

>>508224365
thats not how "caseinpoint" works o native english speaker

A retard made that infographic

>>508221629 (OP)
It would be the funniest thing if those B2s died. Practically irreplaceable tech at this point

>>508223711
Good thing the US has only gotten smarter since then

>>508223711
Serbs taking excessive amounts of pride in downing the F-117 has made the achievement even lesser when you know the facts.

>>508225329
yaaaasss kweeen!

These things were designed before machine learning.

I'm highly skeptical with all the progress made in the data scrounging that these are still "stealth".

>>508221629 (OP)
there are passive detection systems that can pick them up aside from radar. if trump gets one shot down for nothing that would be hilarious. bibi told me they have noooks and tried to kill me dur lmao

>>508225302
from the last generation of combat arms designed and built by white men instead of jeets and spics.

>almost the same size as a fly
Fuck offffffffffffffffff

>>508223515
I think you're thinking of plancherels theorem; you can spread out frequency but you cannot destroy energy

>>508223837
Why not?

>>508226046
the plane is further away

>>508222824
It was a proper AA installation not a MANPADs.
The Nighthawk has a critical flaw in that it has to open its bay doors to drop ordinance, and when the bay doors are open they return a radar cross section equivalent to a normal aircraft, which provides a fireable track for FCS radars. A serbian AA system got lucky and flipped on their radar just when an undetected Nighthawk dropped its payload and got the one in a million shot. It remains the only loss of a stealth plane in history, so I suppose that is their distinguished honor.

Fun fact: stealth is designed to safeguard planes from long range detection and early warning radars, not fire control radars. The traditional approach is to support a stealth strike with a wing of SEAD planes armed with anti-radiation missiles, to keep surface AA from being able to use their fire control radars. It's just a happy accident that stealth technology also makes fire control radars less effective. All post-nighthawk stealth designs solved the bay door vulnerability, but the nighthawk itself was only ever meant to be a prototype for future stealth planes, it only stayed in service as long as it did because the efficacy of stealth shocked everyone.

Didnt an unemployed alcoholic retired Serb schizo immidiately shoot a super duper state of the art stealth Night Hawk jet out of the sky over Yugoslavia using 50 year old outdated anti air stuff the first week into the war?

>>508221629 (OP)
Israel has destroyed 95% of iran’s air defence

If the Iranians can fly a small drone with primary radar capability above the height a B-2 the chance of detection is much higher as much of the low observable cross-section advantage is lost.

>>508223711
There's so much cope about this it's insane.
>Uhhhh we were just incompetent, that's why we lost it!
Just admit the US was outsmarted and the decade of Gulf War propaganda about technological superiority was just propaganda and any expensive piece of military hardware can be defeated by a determined opponent.
>>508226608
>got lucky
>one in a million shot
>happy accident
Cope. It wasn't luck, they knew there was no SEAD cover and they planned and organized specifically to take out the aircraft. It was well organized and a perfect example of an opponent overcoming technological deficits with expert planning. They knew they could detect the F117 with P-18 radar on its most fine setting, a 70s design btw. What makes you think now Iran won't try to be just as clever? AA and radar technology has changed too.

>>508227440
It was 3 days in. That particular airframe had flown in the Gulf War too, where it proved itself.

They've already "sunk" a few B-2s already as well. It's over for the Amerigolems
